My AJ is moving on up to the 2nd grade. School was better for her this year, but she still doesn't just love it the way I remember. This first picture is her first and last day of 1st grade. She had a wonderful teacher this year and made a couple of friends and I am very proud of how far she came along and how hard she worked. I got to go work her field day which was fun :) She will be changing schools this year, headed to the 2nd and 3rd grade school building, which is actually just across the street from us!
Of course, we worked so hard throughout the school year I couldn't stand the thought of her falling behind with the "summer slip" so we have been summer homeschooling (that is what she calls it) nothing to intense, just being sure to read a little everyday, keep up with our math, and she asked if she could learn cursive! We found a beginners cursive handwriting workbook that we have been working through :)
HI has learned all the main colors, most of the shapes, and numbers 1-10 and we are spending his summer reviewing these things and working on writing his name. We plan on starting on the alphabet in August. This past spring he went to the same Thursday School that Aylin went to in the spring of her 3 year old year and he will go to a 2 day a week MDO for preK this year.
Most of the time we do school work while W is napping, but sometimes he gets in on the learning :)
We did a little art project a few weeks ago and made ocean themed coffee filter sun catchers! The kids really enjoyed it and we hung them on our back door. AJ and I did all the cutting but each kid did their own coloring.
